1. Tips for Making Perfect Hollow Fried Tofu

Want to know how to make perfect hollow fried tofu? First, make sure the tofu you use is completely dry; crush and squeeze it using a clean cloth until no water remains, as this is the key to ensuring the tofu expands well when fried.

Next, heat enough oil; the right temperature will ensure the tofu cooks evenly and expands perfectly, so keep the heat medium to prevent the outside from burning while the inside remains raw.

When frying, allow the tofu to expand without stirring too often to avoid breaking it apart.

Don't forget to add a little baking powder for a more expanded result, and feel free to experiment with seasonings like minced garlic or green onions to make your hollow tofu even more appetizing!

Here are the more detailed steps to make crispy hollow round tofu:

Ingredients:
- 10 pieces of white tofu
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Finely minced garlic (to taste)
- Salt (to taste)
- Flavor enhancer (to taste)
- Ground pepper (to taste)
- Cooking oil (enough for frying)

Steps:

1.Preparing the Tofu:
- Crush the white tofu in a bowl until smooth. You can use a fork or a tofu masher.

- Once the oil is hot, fry the tofu balls in batches. Don't overcrowd the pan so that the oil temperature remains stable.
